Building/Printing a Bar Code

2-4

Getting Started

Presentation

Each bar code format can be enlarged to any height from 1/25" to 13" (1 mm to

33 cm) in 1/72" increments. Bar widths can be enlarged in 1/600" units, and code values can

be printed as text together with differently embedded codes in 20 different scalable fonts.

However, bar codes are not made up of scalable fonts. Typeface numbers from 24,580 to

24,900 activate the bar code. All data that is linked to a typeface number is analyzed and

converted into a bar code directly by the PCL controller.

Bar Code Readability

Bar codes consist of a series of lines or dots with blank spaces. Therefore, the settings and

the condition of the printer may affect readability. We recommend that you first run a

readability test before you print the bar codes. If the test print results do not turn out as

expected, adjust the following settings to improve readability:

• Toner density

• Color and type of paper used

IMPORTANT

•

Canon does not guarantee and has not tested that the bar codes, OCR-A and OCR-B,

contained or generated by this Bar Code Printing function are readable by all reading

devices.

•

Canon recommends that you test the read/write compatibility of these bar codes and

fonts before implementing their applications.
